TODAY

1. lie down here and be my girl - nick cave and the bad seeds
fuck meg ryan's collagen lips, take whatever nick cave is taking/has taken and you've found the fountain of youth. or, maybe it's less of a fountain than a continuous stream, and you'll just feel the same way you're feeling now for the rest of your life. it's ok; a little from column a, a little from column b. still, did you 'date' p.j harvey? did you write 'stranger than kindness'? no? then maybe your lips need a little plumping dude.
2. paul revere - beastie boys
time is measured in clocks or beastie boys songs. i wish i was kathleen hanna. i don't wanna marry a hilltop hood!
3. greensky greenlake - dead meadow
how many times have you heard about a song being 'psychadelic' only to find it just sounds like a shitty cover of a brian jonestown b-side? and by that i mean something not even good enough to make a black rebel b-side. you know what i'm saying. listen to this and feel those levels lifting in some forest or bushland area like you've only dreamed of.
4. big eyed beans from venus - captain beefheart
top ten sexiest things ever. even sexier than michael hutchence in the video for 'need you tonight'. no, wait, i'm crazy talking. not sexier than that. but close.
5. mystery - wipers
plus you can so tell paul westerberg was listening and taking notes.
6. precious rose - eddy current
because i'm so cool and indie and hey have you heard of this new band eddy current suppression ring?
7. celebrated summer - husker du
it's really more about feeling than saying. bob mould is king! MOULD!
8. war pigs - black sabbath
once vince neil told me ozzy ozzbourne snorted a line of ants. but, hey once a leprechaun told me to burn things, so what do i know?
9. gfc - albert hammond jr.
who would have thunk it? albert projecting above the strokes on some crazy acetate level. i wouldn't have. but now i'm gonna pretend i knew it all along and wasn't just obsessed with nick's hair or creating parallels between julian and oprah's rollercoaster weight gains and losses.
10. moon over marin - dead kennedys
catchy!
